Mr Dad Posted 3 March, 2016 Share Posted 3 March, 2016 Looks as though Spitfires might be flying on Satuday during Sunderland game. 80th aniversary. One is going to Pompey unfortunately. I don't know the timings etc but does anyone have an idea if we are likely to see them? It'll make a change from the FlyBe planes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dad Posted 3 March, 2016 Author Share Posted 3 March, 2016 I've requested a flypast from Solent Sky Museum ansd Eastleigh airport who have organized the flights. Doubt if they will do it but its worth a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markr27 Posted 3 March, 2016 Share Posted 3 March, 2016 leave beastleigh at 1100hrs - the other two are due to arrive at southampton around 1530 I think. All weather dependant, especially the PM flight as it is arriving from Kent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a humane gesture to just send 30 fully laden B52s to Pompey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenridge Posted 4 March, 2016 Share Posted 4 March, 2016 They squeezed an extra flight in today. It took off at 10am. Probably up in the blue skies now for anyone local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallBoy Posted 5 March, 2016 Share Posted 5 March, 2016 Had on fly right down my road, TWICE. I know nothing engines, aerodynamics or engineering but they are just a joy to watch. Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
